Two bowl barrows 460m NNW of Longstone Cottage: part of a round barrow cemetery on Mottistone Down

The National Heritage List for England records Two bowl barrows 460m NNW of Longstone Cottage: part of a round barrow cemetery on Mottistone Down as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Bowl barrows, dating to the Early Bronze Age (c. 2000–1500 BCE), are burial monuments typically containing inhumation burials. These barrows are part of a wider round barrow cemetery, reflecting early communal burial practices and social organization in the British Isles.
